It should be explained that as our brand new baby granddaughters were being delivered in Chicago, Illinois, Bob and I were in the Alps in Switzerland! The babies weren't due until July 31. Our trip was to end on May 24, way before the due date. Little did we expect to get an international phone call from our daughter-in-law Stephanie when we were getting up at 9:30 AM in Interlaken, Switzerland on Tues., May 17 saying, "We've got babies!" After talking with Troy and being assured that the babies were in good hands at the hospital, we decided to continue our trip through Switzerland and on to France. Stephanie was able to get our lay-over in Chicago extended by 24 hours so we could see the babies before flying home to Las Vegas. We saw the babies for the first time on May 25 and those photos will appear later in a series of blog albums, Parts 2-5.
